What kind of o2 sensors did you use? I've heard a lot of people say that most aftermarket ones don't work well (expecially bosch), that you need oem ones (made by denso I believe).

i think he used bosch 02 other small fact i left out was the reason fuel rail was replaced to begin with is there was a small fire ontop of manifold but all damage looks superficial

Those Bosch o2 sensors could certainly be a problem. Precat sensor sends data to the computer to adjust mixture, postcat sensor just monitors.

It should run based on pre-programmed parameters just like it does until the sensors warm up on a cold start.
